Specific learning outcomes:
By the end of the course, students will be able to

identify the methods of emergence of figures and the perceptual mechanisms that gave rise to them.
recognise the different formal typologies, their advantages and drawbacks.
assess the potential of form and its representation in the process of architectural design.
apply involved and critical thinking to the process of generation of form.
understand the logic of architectural forms, constructed and perceived.
link together architectural thinking and construction, building and perception.
test out architectural concepts in direct contact with the materiality of the building.
make a case for the shape given to the project by materialisation, in relation to architectural expression.

Contribution to the learning outcomes reference framework:

Design a project
Adopt approaches which are methodical, creative, metaphorical, perceptive, collaborative etc.

Test an artistic approach

To imagine drivers which can transform perception of what is real
To take a deliberate step from an uncertain beginning by assembling pre-existing concepts and ideas to form a proposal

Build knowledge of architecture

Be able to use given references which, by analogy, can lead to other interpretations of the context

Make use of other subjects

Make use of other subjects to ask questions about the design and implementation of an architectural project

Use the technical dimension

Acquire an instinctive understanding of structures to use in producing a creative work of architecture

Express an architectural procedure

Identify the main elements of a hypothesis or a proposal to express and communicate them

Make committed choices

Make links between different methodological and epistemological perspectives
